Swedish immigration authorities lifted Saturday a five-month
moratorium on extraditions and deportations to the Ivory Coast due to
the country's relative stability following months of unrest there.

"The
security situation in the Ivory Coast has improved and we have no
reason anymore to stop extraditing and deporting (immigrants) to the
country," Sweden's immigration office said in a statement.

But the decision does not mean some people cannot seek asylum, it added.

Sweden,
the fourth largest asylum country among industrialised nations, last
December halted the transfers of Ivory Coast migrants back home due to
violence in the aftermath of elections in the west African country.

Ouattara assumed the presidency earlier this month after former
strongman Laurent Gbagbo was ousted on April 11 for refusing to hand
over power, plunging the country into a tense and violent crisis that
left more than 1,000 dead.
